Hi, myself and a friend are heading to oz next september, our planning is in the very early stages, but we want to start in perth and travel along the south to melborne, then up the east coast, then along the north, and hopefully take in as much as we can in a year.
I was hoping there would be people on here willing to give any thoughts on what to do... not obvious things but little gems they may have found off the beaten track.
Also, transport, would people reccomend buying a car or sticking to public transport etc?
And finally accomadation, are hostels the way to go all year, or is hiring a camper van or renting a flat better?
Dont be afraid to bombard me with info, i want mountains of it, about anything and everything oz related!!

Thanks peeps.
